Comments on Infographics Woo-a-Hoo!

I like the "Most Targeted Book" infographic because it is a lens into our society. I think that it is important to be aware of what might be offensive. However if you are looking out for every single category listed on the infograph (nudity, sexuality, language, drugs, religious, racism, etc.) it gets to be a bit overwhelming and you are left with nothing pushing the boundaries and nothing to challenge society.

I think the "Tween the Sheets" conveys an important message that is often considered too explicit or personal to be a part of everyday conversation. I loved how they broke condom use down by age, culture, commitment, etc. I wish they could have broke it down by geographical location as well.

The education infograph is fascinating! I loved the layout - how the creator separated the three categories of completed education and then compiled them into one large US map. I did not like how the big map was hard to read. I also with it would include more cities. It should have the 7 or 10 major cities in the US (NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Philidelphia, Dallas, Salt Lake City, Detroit, San Diego). Also, have the breakdown within states.
